[SuSE Linux] Help, Please ! : NT-SuSE 5.2- LILO
Hello! I would need some advises about which way I should take, to restore some booting problems between NT and SuSE 5. 2. Right now I was able recover the two systems.
nt wants to own the mbr. There is an nt-linux boot how-to at sunsite. <A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO"><A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO</A">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO off the top of my head naceur wrote:

From my 2 days reading, I found 2 ways to make NT and Linux living on the same HD.
1) NT bootmanager, or 2) LILO bootmanager
From your experineces folks a) which bootmanager is safer ? and b) which procedure is easier to establish ?
Could you please help me with some hints or advises ?
Thank you very much, Naceur

I have NT-Linux dual boot system with LILO in the MBR. Works without any probs. Keep a Linux boot disk handy if you need to reinstall NT. In that case NT will overwrite MBR (just as in Win9x). With the boot disk you can boot Linux and then re-install LILO in the MBR.

I prefer LILO :)

Once I understood how to configure /etc/lilo.conf, I always installed it in the MBR. -- Arun Khan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I didn't know that was possible with nt. By all means, lilo is the way to go. I'm triple booting linux, freebsd, and win95, and lilo makes it a no-brainer. -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html \# /## -==============================================- ###'---'#### - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
